Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Sam Reilley is a wealthy marine biologist that, with his friend and co-worker Tom, goes on hunts for various mythological items. He goes on several adventures, with each story detailing one or more treasures to be found. Finding the treasures often involve dangerous trials, including battling with the “bad guys”, and saving the world from destruction.
 
Volume 6 of the Sam Reilley Collection contains the following stories:
 
The Hunt for Excalibur (Sam Reilly Book 16)
The army developed the deadliest weapon known to man. Although the weapon is presumed dead, people start brutally being killed by a secret monster only few know the secret to. Sam must uncover the truth of the legend of King Arthur to destroy the weapon before it takes over the world. I absolutely love Christopher’s stories and this one is no exception! This must be one of my favourites!

Ghost Ship (Sam Reilly Book 17)
Sam wakes up on a ship in Italy with a gun, suitcase and dead body next to him. On top of that, he has no memory of who he is nor how he got there. Can he figure out the secret that caused someone wiped his memory and frame him? Very interesting form of plot development, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Tomb of El Dorado (Sam Reilly Book 18)
Sam hunts for the ancient tomb of El Dorado, holding secrets of a legend, treasure and mythical beasts. This story just made me want more and more, give me more!
 
The stories are packed with descriptive scenes, life threatening situations, fast paced action and archaeological treasure hunting. They are cleverly unraveled to keep the listener excited and intrigued throughout, not to mention to hear the next stories in the series. The genre reminds me of Indiana Jones, James Bond and the like. Not only are they filled with action and adventure, I feel that I was also educated by them. There are so many fascinating facts coming through about various mythological things, some of which I had heard of and learned more about, and some that I hadn’t heard of before and learned all about in the books. The stories are well written with cleverly built up plots and characters, including twists and turns throughout. They follow a series with ongoing relationships and themes, but with a new adventure each time. Sometimes other stories are mentioned in other books that elude to future upcoming adventures, or previously completed adventures. The series is absolutely addictive and interesting and I cannot wait to hear the next ones!
 
David narrated expertly. With excellent intonation for various characters and energy and passion throughout the series. He was a perfect fit for what I believe the stories’ perspectives to sound like. There were also some interesting audio elements coming through like hearing two people speak at the same time and hearing people speak through voice scramblers. Overall, the performance was masterful and absolutely added to my enjoyment thereof.
 
I highly recommend this series. Be warned though, once you start you may not be able to stop!

A trilogy of thrillers

Powerful characters grab you and take you on a rollercoaster ride of fantasy, action , history and adventure.

entertaining

it is very entertaining in spite of continued plot holes and contradictions by the author.

Good stories!

I enjoy the stories, but the author has zero knowledge of firearms and it was almost distracting to the stories. Crosshairs on a shotgun? Magazines in a service revolver? The hammer dropping on an empty chamber with a semi automatic?

Another super fun and exciting trilogy.. superb

Sam Reilly has a great group of characters surrounding him. Such fantastic adventures that weave and intertwine. I have now followed the series to the end of volume 6.... waiting for Cartwright to write the next chapters... a must not miss adventure series!

Too far-fetch with annoying narration

I struggled to finish the three books mainly because I had agreed to review them in exchange for the books. All three had potentially fascinating premises. The books were well written. However Z the action was intense and detailed to the extreme, making it unbelievable. All three were overly ambitious stories and became too farfetched to keep me involved. It did not help that the narrator sounded normal in describing places and action, but when he spoke for anyone other than Sam, he sounded overly dramatic and cartoonish.

Favorite Series

This is the best series of books I've ever listened to. I can't wait for more!

There narrator is perfect for these audio books. He does an amazing job.
